INTRODUCTION
Waldmann’s Disease, or Primary Intestinal Lymphangiectasia (PIL), was first described in 19611. It is a rare disorder of unknown etiology that causes protein-losing enteropathy2. The condition is characterized by the dilation and leakage of intestinal lymphatic vessels, leading to hypoalbuminemia, hypogammaglobulinemia, and lymphopenia3. The symptoms of the disease depend on the severity and location of the affected lymphatic vessels, ranging from mild edema in the lower
extremities to generalized edema, ascites, pleural effusion, chronic diarrhea, among others1. While it typically develops in early childhood, we present the case of a 55-year-old male.
